Lol, I started this series based on it's popularity and went in blind. I have never noped out of a book faster.

    I had multiple people tell me how good it was. Couldn't manage even the first book. Didn't care about any of the characters. If they had all died, and the book started following a completely different group it wouldn't have changed how engaged I was in the story at all.

    Surely it would have then gotten better, or at least interesting, right? (For a moment anyway?)

    It would have probably at least made me curious. Not many books will kill off their whole cast and just start telling a different story.

    GRRM didn't kill off the whole cast, but he did make it clear pretty early on that nobody was safe, which made the books way more exciting imo

    Similar experience, but not necessarily noped out as much as a drop out of lack of interest. Had this recommended to me after I got done with Fourth Wing. Not a good recommendation in my opinion.
